Whitecaps tonight! If you purchased tickets through school, your child should have brought them home already. If you still want to go, there are plenty of tickets still available at the gate! Please click this link for a 'Know Before you Go' link!
Music Concert Update! Unfortunately one of our music teachers had an accident and is currently on the road to recovery. Due to this unexpected circumstance, we are canceling our music concerts that were scheduled for May 15th. We know this is disappointing but we do not have enough preparation time to pull it off this year.
Food fight kick off- We are partnering with flat River Outreach for a district wide food fight!
Lowell students can help fight hunger by participating in the 2024 Food Fight Challenge. By bringing in paper products, toiletries, and food items we can help fill the shelves at the Flat River Outreach Ministry’s Food Pantry! From April 29-May 20, students are invited to bring items to school. Earn one point for each item brought in, each dollar counts as four points. The class with the most points earned will be recognized, and the winning school will keep the Food Fight trophy for the year. Thank you for sharing what you can!
Needed items this week are toiletries, canned fruits (in 100% juice) and canned
vegetables (low salt). Donations can be sent to school or given online:

Personal care items can be given through Amazon as well: https://a.co/gqqf5BD
